Graphic Controls to Shut Down Vermed and Move All Jobs to New York, 85 Employees Affected
BELLOWS FALLS — In a story originally reported Wednesday by the Eagle Times in Claremont, N.H., a medical products maker that employs 85 people will be closing its doors and shipping all its jobs to Buffalo, N.Y., in the near future.
Rich Kalich, the former chairman and CEO of Vermed, told the Reformer Thursday that he was informed by Graphic Controls, which bought Vermed in March 2015, they plan to move the operation to Buffalo.
"I received a call last Wednesday from their CFO advising me they would not be renewing their lease on the building at 9 Lovell Drive in Bellows Falls," Kalich told the Reformer. "They called me because I am the primary representative of the previous owners of the company."
